OK, I'll bite and start posting some picks on the thread. As a disclaimer, I'm pretty good at pro hoops, college is my achilles heel. I really like one game tonight...Nets -5 1/2 over Wizards. A few factors come into play here. Brooklyn loves beating up on the bottom half of the league. 22-4 vs. bottom half. Next, this is a major revenge situation for the Nets, getting smoked down in DC by 15 exactly 1 month ago. Joe Johnson is back and healthy. Beal is doubtful and has been the heartbeat of this Wiz team over the last month. Finally, Wiz have worst road record in NBA, and it looks like they're reverting back to their bad selves, turning the ball over 24 times vs. a really bad Minnesota team (sans Love and Pekovic). I'll take the Nets lay the 5 1/2.

I like the Celtics to take this contest in a game that has heavy Playoff
implications. This game separates them
in the Playoff race meaning both teams will get up to win this. The Celtics have been playing a lot better
defense in the past couple and they look to be on their typical playoff
push. There are heavy trends to suggest
the Under as well.
I believe this matchup became a rivalry when the Rockets attempted to
put up the 3 point record against the Warriors earlier this year. This game has playoff implications as
well. Also, the line movement in this
game seems similar to the Thunder/Knicks game last night where the Under hit. The trends in this one suggest over with the
exception of this one stat that really stuck out to me:
·Under is 4-1 in Rockets last 5 road games.
The Rockets are the team that tend to play little defense and push the
ball, their game seems to be slowed lately on the road.

good guys are winning in the battle for cleaner sports so far. this strange thing of new big money continues and it makes most games cleaner. anyway - cleaner or not - things are changing and one fact is there - new and fresh blood is on the scene with few millions money runners daily - all new and fresh in vegas and online books.

today i said screw it.. i'm going to look at the board and bet what i feel.. that's how it ended up.. my thoughts are along lines of jpaco in fact that bulls are returning home and probably good to get back on winning track, and i get the feeling league wants the lakers in playoffs, so they'll do what it takes to see the jazz lose.
i also agree with others in fact that if beal doesn't play that's big blow for wash, but even if he does wizards still suck on the road and nets do beat up on bad teams as vdstrading showed.
i'm going with irempel on this one, plus beating a team by DD is tough to do on the road.. and line was at 9.5 and dropping with more money on Indiana.. go with the home dog on the last one.. good luck guys!

I like Boston Celtics at this stage of the season and always heard at home the saying that the second half of an NBA season is for winners and the Celtics are the winners.
BOS Celtics -5
I like the run the Grizzlies having and will support them against one dimensional Cavs. The Grizzlies have only surrendered to the mighty Heat and not about to lose in Cleveland. Win and cover.
MEM Grizzlies -5.5
I also like the Bulls to cover at home against the very bad away team Utah Jazz.
